Description

Heavy duty ladder style traction bars for the 1980 to 1997 Ford F250 and F350. Long bars ride better: the closer a traction bar is to driveshaft length, the more stable it stays as the suspension travels. These run 78 inches on every cab and bed setup, and 90 inches on crew cab long bed trucks.

  • Fits: 1980 to 1997 Ford F250 and F350, stock height up to 12 inches of lift and more.
  • Install: bolt on. Uses the rear axle u bolts plus 4 holes drilled on each side of the frame for the brackets.
  • Build: heavy wall DOM tubing and high density bushings with a lifetime warranty. No heim joints to wear out or squeak.
  • Finish: raw steel, black powder coat, or any Prismatic Powders color.
  • Built to order by Pro Form Fab. See the lead time notes below or call us for the current build time.

Full product details

We are pleased to bring you our exclusive design Ladder/Traction Bars for the:

1980-1997 Ford F250/F350

Product Description:
We are proud to bring you our Heavy Duty Tubular Ladder/Traction Bars. These work on stock trucks all the way up to 12 inches of lift and more. They are completely bolt on, utilizing the u bolts at the rear axle and drilling (4) holes on each side of the frame for the frame brackets to attach. Not only are these the best value on the market, they are also the beefiest, longest, best performing bars on the market. From an engineering standpoint, the bars need to be as close to the same length as the driveshaft as possible to provide the best stability and function as the suspension travels. These bars are just that, coming in at 78 inches for all cab configurations EXCEPT Crew Cab Long Bed which come in at 90 inches long!

Don't let the price fool you, our ladder bars are built from the highest quality materials. We use heavy wall DOM in the construction and rather than using heim joints that are noisy and seize/wear out quickly (like some other bars on the market). We use the same high quality, high density pt meg bushings found in our control arm, which also carry a lifetime warranty against failure.

(*Please note that all kits are build to order. Raw will typically ship in 4 weeks and Black or Powder coated bars will typically ship in 8 weeks. Feel free to call us if you have any questions or concerns regarding build times, thank you.)

Product Finish:

These are offered RAW (bare steel), with black powder coating, or we will shoot any color prismatic powders offers.

For available colors please obtain color code from Prismatic Powder at the link below:

Prismatic Powders

Please note the possibility of shipping damage with custom colors. 2 stage candy colors are not as immune to mishandling by the shipping companies, they do chip much easier than black. We have no issue shooting colors, the shipping companies mishandling the packages does happen however, and is out of our control. All custom color sales are final.

Just include your color choice in the text box on the listing
